Artie: Bagging the Upholstery Brush
Aug. 3rd, 2012 09:10 pm((For coming from a timeline where Claudia never got near the Warehouse, alternate-Valda sure did adjust quickly and get a coherent plan together. Combine this with Valda's attempt to get the Regents to do a vote of no confidence in Artie at the diner, and it's my headcanon that the alternate Valda found the original Valda's plan for stealing the Warehouse. Additionally, the Mason's Tools can move the Warehouse but were not used to move Warehouse 12 because if they had, Roaring Dan wouldn't have had a cache of artifacts stolen when they were being shipped from W12 to W13. My theory is that the Setting Maul was left behind in Warehouse 2 and that's why Valda was an expert on breaking in - he needed it for his plan to steal the Warehouse. To be fair, I think he thought he was doing the right thing because the Regents as a whole aren't exactly confidence-inspiring. Also, he was ready and willing to give his life for the Warehouse without a second thought. So, misguided but devoted.))
